Paul the Emissary Companion Guide
COMPANION GUIDE TO THE VIDEO Paul, the Emissary Prepared by Dr. Diana Severance P.O. Box 540 Worcester, PA 19490 610-584-3500 1-800-523-0226 Fax: 610-584-6643 E-Mail: [email protected] Web: www.visionvideo.com 2 Discussion Guide for The Emissary The Emissary portrays the story of the apostle Paul, closely following the Scriptural account in the book of Acts. Historians recognize that Paul was one of the most important men in all of world history. It was largely through his ministry that the message of Christianity was brought to much of the urban society of the Roman Empire within one generation. To better appreciate Paul’s ministry and impact, read the Scriptures, consider and discuss the following questions: 1. We first meet Paul in Scripture when Stephen was being stoned (Acts 7:54-60). At that time he was then called Saul. What role did Saul have in Stephen’s stoning? What impression might the dying Stephen’s words and behavior have on Saul? 2. Though born in Tarsus in Asia Minor, Paul was raised in Jerusalem, where he was a student of the beloved Gamaliel. What was Gamaliel’s attitude to the new sect of Christians? Why might Saul’s attitude differ so markedly from his teacher (Acts 22:3; 5:34-39; cf. 8:3; 9:1-2)? 3. Saul was not seeking the Lord Jesus, but the Lord was seeking him and spoke to Saul as he was on his way to Damascus to further persecute the Christians (Acts 9:1-7).

THE PRIESTLY COVENANT – Session Five
THE COVENANT: A Lenten Journey Curriculum THE PRIESTLY COVENANT – Session Five Leader’s Opening Remarks Our covenant journey has taken us to Eden, where a broken promise activates the genesis of redemption. Next, we went by boat with Noah, where God re-created the world as the stage upon which the story of God’s grace and redemption would play out. Then despite Abraham and Sarah’s shortcomings, God used them to secure the innumerable seed of blessing that God had in store for the world. Last week, we made a turn as we Laws, or standards that God would set to define how one should live in relationship with God and with others. 57 THE COVENANT: A Lenten Journey Curriculum Today, we will look again at Moses and this time, also his brother, Aaron, his nephew, Eleazar, and Eleazar’s son, Phinehas. This journey will reveal the importance of succession. The priestly covenant is a covenant of peace. But it starts out as anything but peaceful… Remember Moses’ reluctance to do what God had for him? He stuttered, and insisted that he wasn’t capable of doing all that God was calling him to do. So, God relented and gave Moses his brother, Aaron as an assurance that Moses had all that was needed to help free the Israelites from Pharaoh. A series of plagues and the death of Pharaoh’s son later, and Moses, Aaron, and all of the Israelites, crossed the Red Sea, and the enemy was defeated! But it still was not peaceful! 58 THE COVENANT: A Lenten Journey Curriculum The Israelites received the law, but the idolatry of Israel angered God and God denied the Israelites the peace that God had for them.

Numen 68 (2021) 230–271 brill.com/nu How Do We Explain the Quiet Demise of Graeco-Roman Religion? An Essay Jan N. Bremmer Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands [email protected] Abstract Until now, the relatively quiet transition from traditional Graeco-Roman religion to Christianity has gone unexplained. In dialogue with James Rives and Jörg Rüpke, I argue that Christianity made better use than its religious competition of long-term trends in the Roman Empire, such as expanding literacy, the rejection of sacrifice, the movement toward monotheism, and the closing of the distance between gods and their faithful. The growing skepticism within the city elites regarding the credibility of its traditional religion, the decrease in investments in its material side, and the strength of the Christian organizations were additional factors together with contin- gent events, such as Constantine’s victory and his long rule. Keywords demise of religions – Graeco-Roman religion – Christianization – regional differentiation – literacy – sacrifice – urban religion – importance of gods – “superlativism” The end of Graeco-Roman religion has exerted an enormous fascination on the world of ancient and modern historians.1 From Edward Gibbon (1737–1794) to Rodney Stark, via the great Adolf von Harnack (1851–1930), its replacement by Christianity has often been discussed (Bremmer 2010a; Baslez 2013; Fousek 1 The literature on many of the subjects discussed in this contribution is voluminous. I there- fore limit myself in general to the most recent publications. © Jan N.

Lesson 4 Introduction 1. Lesson 1 Was Devoted to the Prayers of Jesus In
"Scripture taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE®, © Copyright 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation Used by permission." (www.Lockman.org) Lesson 4 Introduction 1. Lesson 1 was devoted to the prayers of Jesus in Gethsemane. 2. Lesson 2 discussed the arrest of Jesus and He being bound over to Annas in the middle of the night. 3. Lesson 3 was a discussion of His illegal trial before Annas the former high priest, and the fact no formal charges were made against Him. 4. This lesson will be a discussion of His Pre-Dawn Trial Before Caiaphas And The Sanhedrin. Pre-Dawn Trial Before Caiaphas And The Sanhedrin 1. Jesus was first tried before Annas. (Jn. 18:12-13, 24). JOH 18:12 So the Roman cohort and the commander, and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him, JOH 18:13 and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. JOH 18:24 Annas therefore sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. 2. He will now be tried before the Sanhedrin and Caiaphas the current high priest. (Jn. 18:13, 24). 3. There will be later a post-dawn trial before Sanhedrin and after that a trial before Pilate the Roman governor. 4. The gospel writers all mention this pre-dawn trial before Caiaphas. (Matt. 26:57; Mk. 14:53; Lk. 22:54; Jn. 18:24). MAT 26:57 And those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

Chapter 20 John's Gospel, the Gnostics and Supplimenting
CHAPTER 20 JOHN’S GOSPEL, THE GNOSTICS AND SUPPLIMENTING THE SYNOPTICS The History and the Dating of John’s Gospel The records of the historians are consistent with one another. According to the Old Latin Prologue to John, Bishop Papias of Hierapollis (60-138) related that he had written the Gospel as John had dictated it to him (RO 150). This claim may have been concerning the last chapter only. Papias said John had composed it at the request of the bishops of Asia against Cerinthus and other heretics, especially the Ebionites. Papias added that John knew the other three gospels and had written to supplement them. (RO 151). Irenaeus (120-180) wrote: ‘Later on too, John, the disciple of the Lord, who had even reclined on his bosom, he too brought out a Gospel while he was dwelling in Ephesus of Asia’. (RO 129). [Present day Turkey] A long fragment of the Muratorian Canon was discovered in 1740 by Cardinal Muratori in the Ambrosian library at Milan. Internal evidence shows it was composed between 141- 155 AD. Some attribute its authorship to Hippolytus. The Latin text, confirmed by other finds, appears to have been translated from the Greek. (RO 138-139) It explains that John wrote: at the insistence of his fellow-disciples and bishops. John agreed and asked them “to fast with him for three days, and what shall have been revealed to each let us, relate to one another”. That same night it was revealed to the Andrew, one of the Apostles, that whatever came to the minds of them all, John, in his own name, should write it all down.

Anderson Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.georgefox.edu/ccs Part of the Christianity Commons News and Interpretations on the Bible and Ancient Near East History. "Jesus: His Life from the Perspectives of Mary and Caiaphas" (Pt. 2) By Paul N. Anderson George Fox University Newberg, Oregon April 2019 Following on the first two episodes of the History Channel’s “Jesus: His Life,” focusing on perspectives of Joseph and John the Baptist, the second installment continues the hybrid approach, reflecting on the life of Jesus from the perspectives of Mary and Caiaphas. The opening episode features Jesus visiting Jerusalem as a twelve-year old, as portrayed in Luke 2. Beginning with Mary and her memory of the infancy and childhood of Jesus, things move forward quickly into the story of his engaging the Jewish authorities in the temple. While nothing else is known about the childhood and early adulthood of Jesus, the memory of his engaging religious authorities in Jerusalem must have influenced Mary’s impression of his mission and special calling in life. The episode tracks with the traditional view that Joseph may have died before the ministry of Jesus began, which would have led to his working as a carpenter to support the family. Along these lines, several conjectures of tensions between Jesus and his brother are presented. First, his brothers may have resented his ministry-related departure—imposing on them to provide for the family’s welfare.

From Hades to Hell Christian Visions of the Underworld (2Nd–5Th Centuries Ce)
Chapter 13 From Hades to Hell Christian Visions of the Underworld (2nd– 5th centuries ce) Zissis D. Ainalis When men and women of the Graeco- Roman world in the first century got word about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, something about that story rang a bell. After all, some of the greatest heroes of their literature and their reli- gion had gone to the Underworld and returned alive. Odysseus and Aeneas, Herakles and Orpheus – they all went to Hades in search of the dead. Glen Bowersock is certainly right when he insists that the great difference between Jesus and all the others was that he was dead, that he really died and was resurrected, and that the notion of resurrection was strange and absurd to Graeco- Roman perception.1 However, this central event of Christianity inev- itably called to mind the great characters of the Graeco- Roman tradition and, in this sense, eased the way for the acceptance of this new Semitic religion by Graeco- Roman society. This process will here be primarily illustrated by three texts: the Gospel of Nicodemus, the Vision of Paul and the Life of Saint Macarius the Roman. While these works belong in different centuries and to some extent in different literary traditions, they all display the way in which the Graeco- Roman heritage was recognized, used and developed in the Late Antique and early Byzantine tradition. The Gospel of Nicodemus From early on, Christians started to speculate about the passage of Jesus to the Kingdom of Death. Initially it may have been a taboo to call it Hades, but custom and tradition eventually prevailed.
